The photo shown above is that of an aurora that appears on the planet Saturn. The spectacular light formation that you are seeing is caused by an energetic solar wind that circulates the earth just the way it does on the planet Earth. But unlike Earth, Saturn’s auroras are seen when there’s ultraviolet light. Auroras on Saturn are powered and shaped by the flow of charged particles coming from the sun as well as the planet’s magnetic field.
The study of Saturn’s auroras began in the year 1979 when the 11 spacecraft, which was a pioneer at that time, observed a far-ultraviolet brightening on the poles of Saturn.
When Film Cameras Glitch
Everyone loves the idea of a floating ship, but sadly, the one seen in the photo above isn't what you think it is. The boat looks like it's traveling midair, but the camera's white balance is just off. The blue body of water that you see here is the sand.
Some call it a "Fata Morgana," which is a form of mirage seen on narrow bands right above the horizon. It's named after the famous Arthurian sorceress Morgan le Fay. These mirages, as they believe, usually show themselves in the Straits of Messina, where their magic creates fairy castles in the air or false land so that they can lure sailors to their demise.
The Magic Tap
Here's a neat structural trick: the Magic Tap! Located in Spain's Aqualand, people can't help but feel baffled or in awe by the genius idea that made this possible. The secret to this is magic, yeah... Not! A pole placed where the water is running is what holds it up. No one will be able to see it when the water is on.
The Magic Tap has been listed in many publications to be among the most amazing fountains scattered across the globe, and we couldn't agree more! We can almost hear it calling the by-passes to jump in and enjoy the refreshing water as long as they remember to turn the tap off when they are done.
Scarier Than Ghosts
The real horror that people should be scared to death about is pollution, most especially in the air. Here's a photo of the city of Almaty in Kazakhstan, covered in massive air pollution. Imagine living in a world where the air that you breathe is as dirty as contaminated water.
Almaty is the biggest city in the country of Kazakhstan, with a booming population of 1.8 million people. They make up about 8% of the country's total population. One of the reasons why it's polluted is due to the fact that it's the major cultural and commercial center of the whole country.
Imagine This Being Your Hobby:
Would you be able to make this as your hobby? Or something that's part of your daily lifestyle? Well, the guy shown in the photo above is a Ukrainian roofer, and he risks his life on the regular by merely hanging and climbing from different towers and buildings.
He has a photographer who follows him around who, we firmly believe, is also putting his life in danger. There have been reports of people who shared the same hobby falling from a building after just one single mistake. It's a very dangerous hobby, but they say that the adrenaline that it gives you is better than any kind of "high" that's available in the market today.
